Singular controls in control problems for distributed-parameter systems (Q2654115)

The paper contains an overview of necessary optimality conditions for singular controls and second order necessary optimality conditions for certain classes of optimal control problems with distributed parameter systems. After the introduction, the authors present second-order necessary optimality conditions in control problems of Goursat-Darboux systems; singular controls in systems described by a system of first-order partial differential equations of hyperbolic type; second-order necessary optimality conditions in discrete two-parameter systems; necessary optimality conditions for singular controls in processes described by hyperbolic and parabolic equations with mixed boundary conditions; necessary optimality conditions for singular controls in processes described by a system of two-dimensional Volterra-Type integral equations.
